Many people have also pointed out DePape's link to prominent Berkeley nude activist Gypsy Taub. (DePape too was a nude activist in San Franciso in years past, many outlets have reported.)

Taub herself has not lived in Berkeley for years, however. She is currently in prison outside Los Angeles after convictions in Alameda County in 2021 for child abduction, stalking, annoying a child and disobeying court orders, records show.

Taub was arrested by Berkeley police in 2019 and has been in custody for quite some time, according to court records reviewed by The Scanner.

Still, many reporters flocked on Friday to the 1500 block of Woolsey Street in South Berkeley where Taub had lived, and where her family members still reside.

A man on the block who refused to identify himself but indicated a connection to the Taub house said he had not seen DePape "in years."

Authorities told The Scanner that DePape has had contacts with Berkeley police in the past, but they were many years old.

DePape appears to have no filed criminal cases in Alameda County, according to a Berkeley Scanner review.

It's the assailant himself that is such an enigma, though. Shortly after his arrest was announced, the authorities claimed that he was a right-wing conspiracy theorist with ties to January 6th rhetoric. That led to the usual gnashing of teeth, accusing Republicans of somehow being responsible for the attack despite that rule never applying to Democrats when leftwing attackers target conservatives.

Regardless, the problem is that fact patterns about the assailant appear to be clashing. For example, aside from supposedly being a January 6th nutter, we know that David DePape is a hemp jewelry-making nudist protester.

Additional pictures show signs supporting Bernie Sanders and Chesa Boudin, both far-left figures. The flag out front is a gay pride/marijuana flag (what will they come up with next?). Further, DePape is apparently a "father figure" to the children of a woman in a commune who is married to another man. That woman is known for her public proclamation of 9/11 conspiracy theories, which are typically a left-wing pursuit.

How does someone with that profile end up a Trump-loving, January 6th supporter as the authorities claim? I honestly don't have an answer to that, and that's the problem. The public needs more information, and this event can't be allowed to be swept under the rug in the way Paul Pelosi's DUI arrest was.

We need to actually see DePape's "right-wing" social media posts that were allegedly deleted before the incident was even announced. Because right now, we have what we can actually see telling one story and what the authorities claim but won't show us telling another story. Perhaps it all connects perfectly (or he's just a clinically insane person), but the burden of proof is not on the public. It's on the Capitol Police and the FBI to give us all the facts so that the assailant and the situation begin to make some semblance of sense. Until that happens, suspicions are going to continue.

I asked this yesterday and called the optics dubious at best. If he had a bunch of "right wing" post, there's nothing more they would have loved than to leave those up to be discovered by the media to splash all over the news! Where are they, and they can't surface days later and be believable?

Lives in Berkeley an ultra liberal city. 42 years old but the interesting fact is he is a Canadian citizen. That fact alone puts a real wrench in the media and democrats hopes that they can link this guy to MAGA.

I know they will still try like hell to connect him to MAGA but him being a Canadian citizen makes that connection a little more difficult. So this guy has no voting record for the Dems and media to use.

Consider his previous comments and posts. the suspect allegedly posted dozens of articles and videos promoting a wide range of conspiracy theories related to the 2020 election, QAnon, climate change, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Hillary Clinton and the FBI, among other topics. He also allegedly posted or shared antisemitic articles and videos and other hate speech.
I love how conservatives try to distance themselves from those topics when violence happens. "He's Canadian", "He's from Berkeley". Lame.

Any idea where the male prostitution arrests that an earlier tweet posted earlier in this thread may have happened? Or is that just unsubstantiated rumor?

I guess this is Paul Pelosi before he went to the hospital to have brain surgery. Nothing adds up

Subdural hematomas are common with skull fractures like one would suffer in a hammer assault. Especially in an elderly patient. You could still walk into the hospital with one in the early stages, but I can't think of a reason he isn't being wheeled in out of an ambulance after an attack like that witnessed by the police. Or why he took the time to get dressed. It's all just as weird as the rest of this story
